Guinness Fined N1bn For Infraction - NAFDAC

NAFDAC has ordered Guinness Nigeria Plc to pay the sum of N1bn “as administrative charges for various clandestine violations of NAFDAC rules, regulations and enactments over a long period of time.”
In a letter addressed to the Managing Director of Guinness Nigeria Plc by Mr. Kingsley Ejiofor, the Head, Investigation and Enforcement, NAFDAC. The regulatory agency requested for the payment of the N1bn as administrative charges for infractions such as the destruction activities carried out by the company without the authorisation and supervision of the agency.

Guinness was also accused of revalidating expired products without authorisation and supervision of NAFDAC, as well as failing to secure the gate of its warehouse as the raw materials used in the production of beer and non-alcoholic beverages by the firm were permanently opened to intrusion and exposure to the elements and rodents, which “invariably affect the integrity of the raw materials.”
